There are quite a few. Just hang around for a while and you'll "meet" them.

As for the original question: Just hang around and you'll find Brits and ex-pats lurking around. Watch for odd language clues as well.
Just cuz my location says Paris doesn't mean I'm a Frenchie
Zut alors, un rosbif en France? Mais oui!

Hello,
I am for NW London, Edgware and riding in London is not really that bad. There are plenty of back street to avoid heavy traffic. Suppose since I haved taxied in London and know it like the back of my hand it helps.

I'm originally from the UK (cheshire), for the last 4 years have been living in Michigan USA, near Detroit. Great biking area for both road and trail. Pontiac Lake trail is best ever!
